Student Officer Appointments have been completed. Names are posted below.
First of all I want to thank each and every candidate who submitted an application for Student Officer, and to the teachers who wrote letters of support.
All candidates certainly presented well, all were definitely qualified, and our selection process was not easy. We had over 60 applications to select from for just 30 positions.
We used a variety of criterion in the selection process. These criterion included the experience of the candidate, expression of the candidate in their writing, and the teacher's reference. We also wanted to be sure that we selected student officers from all the schools that submitted candidates, as well as give beginners on opportunity. In the end it was necessary to select just 30 candidates to be student officers. It is always with regret that we can not give this experiential opportunity to every deserving candidate, but I do want to encourage everyone who applied to stay the course and to remain fully involved with MUN. I wish all of you the best of MUN experiences to come.
Those who have been selected for Student Officer responsibilities are listed below. You are reminded that you must attend our Student Officer Workshop
on 02 June 2013, 10am. This workshop will be conducted online. You will receive instructions by email.
Keep in mind the ethos of the MUNOFS programme: MUNOFS is a THIMUN Affiliated Model of the United Nations. We strongly emphasize the themes that make the United Nations a functional and successful global organization. These themes are: Communication, Collaboration, and Cooperation. Participants who practice these, as well as tolerance, understanding, and international mindedness, will enjoy a very successful experience. With these themes in mind we point out that MUNOFS is distinctly non-competitive. Delegates represent their assigned countries, make decisions reflective of that country's policies, stay true to that country's character, while at the same time attempting to help make the world a better place through progress on the issues in their committee.
The role of Student Officers is to facilitate productive, orderly, and respectful sessions for the benefit of the delegates. This includes, the sessions for opening speeches, lobby and merging, and both the formal and informal debates. It is expected that those selected to be Student Officers will learn the rules and procedures of MUNOFS, attend our training sessions (online), complete their assigned research reports, and meet all deadlines and due dates. Student Officers must be available for at least two training sessions and attend a meeting the afternoon of 25 October 2013 on the eve of the conference. Student Officers must also attend the full duration of the conference. Your school must be attending MUNOFS VI.
